Trump: "I heard today that 'we [Ukraine] were never invited [to the negotiations]', well you've been there for three years and should have never started it"
Wild stuff. The outcome in Ukraine will be entirely based on how well the parties play into making Trump look good at the negotiating table.
Putin is playing it intelligently, he is letting his advisors play hardball and can swoop in as the reasonable dealmaker later as necessary.
Zelensky, on the other hand, badly miscalculated by challenging Trump in public on multiple platforms.
The problem here for me is that Trump fundamentally misunderstands Russian objectives with respect to Ukraine. He's looking at this like a real estate deal instead of a question of control over Ukraine's political and social destiny. When they hit that point in negotiations they will stall.

The original Telegram channel has expanded into a web of accounts for different locations, including specific pages made for individual Russian cities. There's also an English-language website, which states it is owned by the people who run the Telegram channels. At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised. Investors took profits on Friday while they could ahead of the weekend, explained Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research. Saturday and Sunday could easily bring unfortunate news on the war front—and traders would rather be able to sell any recent winnings at Friday’s earlier prices than wait for a potentially lower price at Monday’s open. Recently, Durav wrote on his Telegram channel that users' right to privacy, in light of the war in Ukraine, is "sacred, now more than ever." "There is a significant risk of insider threat or hacking of Telegram systems that could expose all of these chats to the Russian government," said Eva Galperin with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has called for Telegram to improve its privacy practices.
